Just one week after his breakout win in Daytona, 23-year-old Vialle rode his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to the third-fastest lap-time in qualifying, before storming to P1 in both his Heat and the Main Event. It was a controlled performance from the two-time MX2 World Champion to win by 2.731 seconds, now holding the red plate by a single point following four rounds of the eastern regional series.
Tom Vialle: “I felt great all day and had a good Heat race to win one of those for the first time. In the Main Event, I didn’t have the best start, but I got into P1 and did some good laps early, trying to stay consistent the whole moto. The last four or five laps were great, I loved the track, and it turns out it was pretty good after the weather we had this week. Another win is amazing for me and I’m really happy to have the red plate – I haven’t won two races in a row since back in the GPs, so it is a nice feeling. Now we will focus on the next race in Indy.”
